Ok, I know it's not a big deal and I should be RDWHAHBing, but...
I have a helles-like ale fermenting in the garage. This is my first from scratch recipe, and I have really big hopes for how great it will come out. I don't enter competitions, but I would really like this to be my flagship brew and just knock the socks off my friends.
I used Whirlfloc during the boil, and was going to just bottle condition as normal, but then I started to think about gelatin for extra clarity. I can't do a crash cool, but I can store carbonated bottles in the fridge for a few weeks before drinking.
So, is the gelatin going to give me "wow" clarity without affecting head retention or carbonation, or should I not bother?
All opinions appreciated!
